This module allows a user to export all his data, so that your site is compatible with the General Data Protection Regulation (Art. 15 & 20).
The module requires the Entity API module as well as the Symfony 3.x Serializer.
It is up to you how to add the Symfony Serializer as a dependency. You either
use either the composer manager
or just add a vendors directory to your repo and require composers autoload.php
file in a hook_boot() (this is the way we do it at jobiqo):
/**
* Implements hook_boot().
*/
function your_module_boot() {
// include the composer autoload file.
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/all/vendor/autoload.php';
}The important thing is that the Symfony Serializer classes are available for the GDPR Export module to use.
The module currently adds a button to the user edit page, which will initialize the export and provide the data zipped for download. This might change in the future if we decide that there's a better place.
The module comes with several symfony serializers for different entities and field types, so that the most common uses are supported. You might have to implement additional hooks or normalizers if your data depends on extra modules. It comes with normalizers for field collections, date and the address field, profile2 modules.
The Profile2 normalizer is in its own submodule called gdpr_export_profile2,
which you will have to activate separately.
See the gdpr_export.api.php file for more information on how to implement additional normalizers and exports.
